"Drinking alcohol" does not necessarily equate to "getting drunk." At least if you're a grown adult and not in undergrad anymore.

Are undergrads supposed to get drunk more easily than older adults? How would that work? Unless you actually meant children and not young adults

Drinking is a skill. It takes time to develop. Teens and the likes - their main goal is to get wasted and fast.

That's a very American view.

Absolutely not. Just that in Europe we start heavy drinking from 12, so by the time we are 16 we know how to properly imbibe.
